Purpose of This Manual This manual describes the procedure for controling the HSR-1/1P Digital Surveillance Recorder using the RS-232C from an external computer, etc. The RS-232C is the EIA standard for the interface of the communication via a modem between data terminal equipment. In this interface, data are transferred serially bit by bit. Since the RS-232C interface is employed in most computers as a standard interface, it can be used in a wide range of applications.

Communication Protocol Communication is carried out in units of bytes in the Commands from the VTR to the computer following procedure. When the computer sends one to notify of completion of an operation byte of data, it waits for a return from the VTR before This return is issued when execution of the following sending the next byte. The return from the VTR may not only be one byte of data, but can be multiple bytes commands is completed: EJECT, FRAME SEARCH, of data. For a command, such as
